The Boston Celtics are back home in Boston by now, but on Saturday night, they spent about a half hour entertaining a small crowd (mostly students) at Salve Regina University in Newport. The team closed its training camp with a couple of intra-squad scrimmages, which packed the Rodgers Recreation Center gym.
The first part of the scrimmage pitted the starters (Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen, Paul Pierce, Rajon Rondo and Kendrick Perkins), plus a couple of role players, against the second team (Eddie House, Marquis Daniels, Brian Scalabrine, Glen Davis and Rasheed Wallace). Wallace abused Perkins, scoring a game-high 10 points to lead the white team to a 15-10 win over the green.
Before the second scrimmage, the green made a trade for Wallace, House and Daniels, giving up J.R. Giddens and Shelden Williams. The white team's GM should be fired for that deal.
But it paid off for the green, as Wallace again was strong in his ratty sweatpants. He scored five points, including a two-handed dunk that drew one of the bigger cheers of the night. And House hit two late 3-pointers to secure a 23-12 win for the green.
And so ends another Celtics training camp in Newport. Hopefully they'll be back next year.

the Celtics were in town?
Hey Josh, no blog about Favre after he made your Packers look like complete fools?....come on, don't run from it. man up.
You're right, I should "man up" and congratulate Favre for doing what no other QB in history has done and winning the Super Bowl in Week 4. Amazing.
What a minute, you can't win the Super Bowl in Week 4. So I guess the Vikings winning at home in October really isn't that big of a deal.
Speaking of "manning up," how about putting your name on these posts?
fact of the matter is, if Favre had a bad game you would be the first one crowing about it....but since he had a GREAT game you ignore it or try to downplay it....you are one bitter dude
I didn't realize there were caves on Aquidneck Island for people to hide in. Yes, the Celtics were in town.
As far as our anonymous friend, manning up would be putting your name down, and as far as Favre, I picked the Vikings to go to the Super Bowl ... looking good so far.
yes, because we all know in the internet world if you put your "name" down it is without a doubt your real name....give me a break.....and by the way, don't offend your audience. I'm pretty sure I'm the only one who reads this lame blog.
How could you be so glib? That hits counter doesn't lie. We're going internation with this thing.
Forgot the "al" on international.
